people always talk about how to replicate john Romero's mapping style, but what about milo, and Dario casali's mapping style, what are the rules and signatures of their maps?..

If you want accurate feedback, you need to have the patience to actually finish the map, then playtest & polish, playtest & polish, playtest & polish, until you're satisfied. A half-finished, unpolished map is going to get a lot of feedback on things you know need fixing. You don't need that feedback, you need feedback on things you DIDN'T know needed fixing.

 

There have been many attempted sequels to Plutonia. Some have been very good, others have been sub-par. To be perfectly blunt, this OP full of spelling errors, lack of capitalization, and the posting of an single uncompletable level with no accompanying preview screenshots which you need cheats to get through does not inspire me with confidence that this attempt will accurately replicate the quality of the original maps.

 

A 32-map megawad is a tremendous amount of work and it needs a high dedication to meticulous refinement which I don't see reflected in the OP. New mappers, being new, will learn a lot with each map they create, but the downside is that their first maps will inevitably seem cruder and thus for a megawad, they'll need to go back and redo all the first maps they made. Then their improved critical eye will show them flaws in their later maps and they'll have to go polish those more. That's why it's not recommended for beginning mappers to leap into a full 32-map megawad.

 

To answer your question, a mapping style is a form of art. It is more something you have to feel than be taught. The only teacher you need to imitate Plutonia's style is the original Plutonia experiment. Play it over and over and over and let it soak into your mind until it's in your bones.
